WHAT IS A LAND USE CODE VIOLATION?
AIssues involving illegal businesses, derelict vehicles, junk and trash, animals, two dwellings on one parcel or other items regulated by the Larimer County Land Use Code. Examples: 1) An owner obtains a permit for a garage behind their residence. On the permit application, the owner states the garage is for personal use only, however, when the building inspector conducts an inspection, he/she observes there is now a sign advertising an auto repair shop. This is not an allowed use in a residential area; 2) An owner converts a storage building into a second residence on his/her property. A building permit is required for this type of conversion and only one dwelling per parcel is allowed (with some exceptions); 3) An owner of a three-acre parcel has 10 horses on his/her property. This exceeds the amount of horses allowed.
